ok lets see what I can do on this song, probably my favorite song on this abum due to a strong relation with the lyrics reflect my life, and probably many others live's as well



Close Your Eyes

In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up,

In your eyes I can see, that you've had enough (and it pains my head)

In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up,

In your eyes I can see, that you fell in love (and it pains my head)

What - if - all - the - ones.

(In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up [and it pains my head])

What - if - all - the - ones.

(In your eyes I can see, that you fell in love [and it pains my head])

What - if - all - the - ones come into me! (and it pains my head)

(In your eyes I can see)

What - if - all - the - ones come into me! (and it pains my head)

(In your eyes I can see)



I'll end this song for you,

I'll end this song for you, unless you love her.

I'll end this song for you,

I'll end this song for you, unless you love her.



Should I walk, should I wait, (turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

what I found, Love is in the hands of tomorrow.

(turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

Should I walk, should I wait, (turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

what I found, Love is in the hands of tomorrow.

(turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)



What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.



**The real question, are you supposed to feel happy or sad by the end of this song, cuz I feel both**

just point them to here, this is my first time going to this message board, but I would always look around for lyrics, so I figured I'd just put mine up and see what people think, could you just spread the word around to tell people to come here, and my other one on "Left Right"

I thought the lyrics to the last part were "What if it all were to change what I thought it would".



There's a lot of lyrics in the track which are difficult to hear, they kind of hide in the background, so well done on that one Zirconian :).

Gabo, they are the Magic Numbers ;)



Not to be confused with Magic Number, another band but they happen to be of electronic nature.



Anyway - the Magic Numbers are from Trinidad I think, and are getting quite a bit of good press in some of the music magazines. They are described as psychadelia folk, very melodic, good harmonies and that sort of thing.



I myself would love to check them out, but I can't even order them through my work and I don't think they have a domestic release in the US. Looks like I'm gonna have to suck up and go on the internet if I want to order any music by these guys.

How many people are in the Magic Numbers? From Close your eyes it sounds like it is a man and a woman, but you can't always tell when there are lyrics arranged over one another.

Where you've said 'what if all the ones', I think it's 'what if I felt worse' :-? .

Ha, yes! I had just found it before you posted it too--- nice site. I love how they sound on "Close your eyes"- it almost sounds as a kind of electronic Polyphonic Spree. :D

Zirconian BuLLeT, I feel ' Close Your Eyes' is like Prefab Sprout 's sounds.

....I like this poppy tune.



:P

I think another change to the lyrics should be "love is in the hands of time" not "tommorrow"

Hey Zirconian ... I love this track a lot too and have been struggling with the lyrics for some time now. I brought up some alternative lyrics to this track searching Google, but they didnt seem to quite fit.



Anyway I think this is quite close to what they are supposed to be, but probably not 100%!





Close Your Eyes



In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up,

In your eyes I can see, that you've had enough ... and it pains my head

In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up,

In your eyes I can see, that you fell in love ... and it pains my head



What - if - I - did not - love.

(In your eyes I can see, that you're cracking up ... and it pains my head)

What - if - I - did not - love.

(In your eyes I can see, that you fell in love ... and it pains my head)

What - if - I - did not - love ... come into me! (and it pains my head)

(In your eyes I can see)

What - if - I - did not - love ... come into me! (and it pains my head)

(In your eyes I can see)



I'm in this love... I will

I'm in this love... I will this love

I'm in this love... I will

I'm in this love... I will this love



why should I wait, (turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

when I found, love is in the hands of time.

(turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

why should I wait, (turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)

when I found, love is in the hands of time.

(turn the radio on, turn the radio on now)



What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)

What if it all were to change like I thought it would.

(what if it all were to change now)





I agree with you about the lyrics being really meaningful - certainly reflects the way I am feeling right now! lol.
